Oh, Happy Day!

My daughter's wedding in Portland, OR was the most beautiful setting for a ceremony I've ever witnessed. Yes, some things went wrong, but there are so many moments we'll be laughing at later. Like the judge who was late because he was stopped for speeding; then his iPad died while he read the script my daughter had so carefully written. However, my daughter--planner extraordinaire--made two hard copies just in case.

Our connecting flight home was missed because Alaska Airlines had a mechanical malfunction in Portland. The first two days home I slept more than I've ever slept in my life. So here are the only two photos I've been able to edit. Hope you enjoy!

Jason and Autumn - 9/5/2015

Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood - 9/6/2015

A HUGE "THANK YOU" to my dear friend, Bridget for watching our precious Izzy and spoiling her rotten while we were gone. This was an image that B made up for Autumn's wedding day, along with a blessing. Sweetest thing I've seen in a long time. I am so happy to have a creative and caring friend like B!

Your daughter was absolutely beautiful-beautiful in that picture! I love her natural bouquet and the sweet expression on his face too! The creativity of your friend B is awesome! Wonderful props surrounding Izzy, too. Wow!

I loved Autumn's hydrangea bouquet. And the photo and formal dress for Izzy! I laughed until I had tears in my eyes. She had such a perfectly placed little tongue which just set the whole scene. And all those ups and downs will help keep those memories strong for a lifetime.

What a sweet photo of your daughter and her new husband. Congratulations to the happy couple and I wish them many, many, many happy years ahead. Izzy is also adorable. Your friend did a great job dressing her up that way.

I'm pretty sure you said the wedding was in a Troutdale location.... we were in Portland this past week and weekend and I wish I'd pressed for a trip to Troutdale---instead of driving past it on Sunday. :-) Can't wait to see some more images of the beautiful day!

Hello Gail!:) Appreciate your visit. Congratulations mother of the bride. How beautiful your daughter looks, and they make a lovely couple. Look forward to seeing more photos of the wedding in such a beautiful setting. Loved the picture of the dog.:)

ooooh gail, those mishaps are much needed stories, for future family get togethers. they will be told over and over again and everyone will realize what was really important that day. 2 people who fell in love, got married. the rest was just stuff!!!!

i am left wondering if the judge got a ticket?? hehehe

beautiful pictures, your daughter looks gorgeous and i really like the choice she made for her bouquet!!!!

Izzy is adorable....... and your daughter is Beautiful....I am excited about seeing the pictures of the wedding and the venue that she chose. I did have to laugh about the first two things that went array. Poor guy! Glad the bride was well organized!! lol. I'll be checking for more post on this Blessed event....Shug

Hahahahaha .... the judge was late because he was stopped because he was driving too fast * chuckle * and also put his case for it. Sometimes it is and sometimes it is the opposite hahahah ... It is fortunate that there were more great moments where you can look back on long :-) Beautiful pictures of the couple and the nature underneath :-)

Oh some things have to go wrong on a wedding day.. and thankfully, none were too serious. A big congratulations to the beautiful couple. I'm happy for all of you. And that photo of Izzy is adorable and sweet. What a fun friend Bridget must be.

Thanks also for your very kind words on my return to blogging. They touched my heart, Gail. Thank you so much for that. Hugs to you.

Congratulations Gail to your lovely Daughter and your new Son-in-Law!!It's wonderful and such a blessing to be part of a growing family and so much love and happiness!! HA - Not too sure if Izzy is thrilled - but she is so darn cute and a portrait to be framed!!

Glad it went well (with a few things to laugh about -- what would a wedding be without those? -- so far the pictures are beautiful; I'm glad Oregon's sometimes iffy weather cooperated. I'm glad you got there and home OK. And again, your daughter and son-in-law are a lovely couple!!!

I love this picture of your daughter and her husband. What a beautiful couple! I can't wait to read more about the wedding...and all the things that happened. They aren't too much fun while they happen, but they make for good memories later ;)Love your friend's creativity, too :D So sweet!

I'm glad to read your last post - I've been concerned!! I totally understand you not blogging!! I have also slowed way down, post mainly for my Mom. I copied and pasted your web page into the blog - not sure if it will let me view it!! I have done Facebook for years and got board with it and tired of all the ads and politics, so no longer do Fb, but I do enjoy Instagram since it's just basically photos!! I saw your Instagram account and asked to follow - not sure if you ever check it!! You are a talented and wonderful photographer!! You could work for National Geographic or any other major publishing magazine!! A photo DOES speak a thousand words!! Best wishes always Gail to you and your family!!Most Sincerely, I will miss you - Suzan
